An ode to fries. Here are the 5 best places to eat fries in Louisville

June 4, 2018

Besides having a cleaning schedule, they have a secret weapon — FreshFry pods from a Louisville startup. “They look like cornhole bags,” he says, “but you toss it in the oil and it holds all the things that get built up in fryers, it really filters your oil."

Enterprisecorp Clients Finalists for Rise of the Rest Pitch Competition

April 5, 2018

EnterpriseCorp, the region’s largest entrepreneurial support organization, is pleased to congratulate all eight of the finalists for the Rise of the Rest Pitch Competition. Each one of these fast-growth, innovative startups is a current or previous client of EnterpriseCorp.

“These companies are excellent examples of the innovative growth happening in Louisville’s startup scene and EnterpriseCorp is well acquainted with each of them. As the longest-running, sustainable entrepreneurial support organization in Greater Louisville, we are so proud to have helped each of them be prepared to pitch for $100,000 from Revolution,” Lisa Bajorinas, GLI’s VP of Entrepreneurship and Talent, said.

As a part of the pilot RevIt Marketing program, created by Greater Louisville Inc. and Nucleus and housed at iHub, Doe-Anderson offered expertise and strategic insights to FreshFry, which developed the FreshFry Pod to remove impurities and extend the life of frying oil for restaurants. The company is a LaunchIt graduate, Vogt Award winner, an EnterpriseCorp “HOT” company.

The Closing Bell: FreshFry ramps up for growth

What started with a single table and grandma’s sewing machine has morphed into a business that takes up thousands of square feet at 110 Central Ave., a warehouse space that it shares with Louisville-based dental supplies and lab equipment maker Whip Mix. There FreshFry makes its pods, which restaurants can use to keep the oil in their fryers clean and free of impurities.

“It’s getting everything out of there to make your food shine,” said Jeremiah Chapman, co-founder and CEO of FreshFry.

The Louisville manufacturing startup just started distributing its product through Louisville-based food wholesaler Creation Gardens, and the company is testing its product in various places around the United States and in Europe, including restaurants whose parent companies record billions in revenue annually, according to FreshFry.

This year, FreshFry has expanded its production capacity 25,000 percent (that is not a typo). Although it doesn’t run at full capacity, “we are talking to people who can fill that up in a snap,” Chapman said.

FreshFry entrepreneurs say Louisville is the best place for their budding company

January 26, 2016

FreshFry may be a company in its infancy with many things still to learn, but co-founders Jeremiah Chapman and Jacob Huff already know for sure that they never want to move their enterprise from Louisville.

The company, which was founded in 2014 and started delivering product to customers last year, was born from the mind of Chapman and incubated through many nights at the dinner table in the apartment he shared with Huff while the two were battling through the strenuous program at the University of Louisville’s JB Speed School of Engineering. It seems only fitting that a product designed to make food preparation more efficient saw its development over the dinner plate.

FreshFry’s innovation, a pod that helps to extend the life of frying oil by extracting impurities generated through the frying process, came from Chapman’s undergraduate interest in biodiesel and some allies in the campus dining halls.
